Specifically, I am more concerned with the minutia, such as 'is the list of named users' supposed to reside in a file, and in a specific directory, (or in a desk drawer). Since the licenses are based on CPU, is every virtual server supposed to have this list/file. So forth and so on.

We are getting ready to discuss this with oracle so we will get the answers anyway, but this is actually faster. (If you have ever asked specific licensing questions to oracle sales then you know it can take awhile for them to get back to you, or set up a meeting).
